Restaurants

The hotel's award-winning chef and his team prepare everything personally, from the home-baked bread rolls to the ice creams and sorbets. The team have built up special relationships with suppliers they know they can trust to provide only the finest ingredients, which they use to create dishes that are as exciting as they are mouth-watering. To accompany your meals, you can choose from a wine list that includes fine and rare wines, as well as favourites from the old and new worlds. The list itself has been carefully designed to guide you to a wine that will suit your mood and taste, as well as complementing the food you are eating.
If you are booking a bed and breakfast rate where dinner is not included in your package, please consider your dining arrangements at the time of booking. If you do wish to eat in the hotel's main restaurant, early booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment. The hotel's Brasserie Restaurant is also available as an option, however.
